Hi everyone,
Couple of questions. Simple but just seeking clarification more than anything.
Heat resistant flex - Is it the inner cores, outer sheath or both which are heat resistant?
Reason being ive stumbled across an urn which all the wiring to the heating elements/control gear has disintegrated mainly due to age. (Aluminuim/silver cores on the cable).
The elements are testing fine and the rest of the urn seems fundamentally sound. So i plan to rewire the stat connections, elements, main switch etc etc. Now im pretty sure you cant buy heat proof singles easily? So plan on using flex and stripping the inner cores out. I just wanted to check that they were heatproof first.
Secondly what is the current carrying capacity of 1.5/2.5 flex? Ive sold my big red book and my 17th edition amendment book hasn't turned up yet. Would like to rewire the urn tommorow so if someone would check for me it would be appreciated.
Thanks alot.
Russ
